I hope there will be a stable version on the way?

Sometimes I use Ubuntu on my PC, I like it really bad.

But on my old good Samsung? Can it be?

Now, VanillaRootbox works and works last but not least for some month. I think for 1 and a half Year, terrible stable.

cm 10.1 has been updated to android 4.2.2. Whenever I flash the latest Siyah or Dorimanx kernel,sim card is never detected. The stock cm kernel works fine. Any fixes?

Also I loved the slide to wake feature on Dorimanx,is there a way to port it to my stock cm kernel,like an app or a flashable? I read through a few forums but didnt find anything solid. Thanks in advance :) :D

[LG Optimus 4X HD] DidierDrigbi:
Hi.

I have a problem, which I don't know how to solve.

Of course I had a root. I have installed busy box and trickster MOD in order to disable 3D scaling to boost some games like NFSMW (Actually, it worked!).

With no rebooting I tried to delete PlusOne.apk and PlusOne.odex from system/app to speed my phone (this app running in the background all the time usses the memory). I used Total Commander mounting R/W, but didn't unmount it.

Next I rebooted my phone.

First, it was stuck on Upgrading Android - optimizing apps (i see it for two seconds on every normal boot, so I thought it may take longer this time but after 10 minutes nothing happened). I tried to do a hard reset, and afer doing it, now, the phone is stuck on lg boot animation.

Could you help me solving the problem? Please tell me what was the problem that I can avoid it in future.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
due to the fact that you've played around with your /system/ partition, you've got to reflash stock again...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] DidierDrigbi:
So, what to do?

So, i have to flash the kdz ROM using this tut: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069723 ?

I understand that deleting anything from there is not a wise idea, I won't make this mistake again?

But not unmounting r/w after mounting it, is ok? Nothing should happen if I didn't delete those files from system partition?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
first, yes, you've got to reflash via kdz

second, of course you can delete stuff in /system/ partition BUT you need to know what you are deleting ;) e.g. deleting SystemUI.apk is no good idea at all ;) you can find a "safe list" here on xda in general section

third, unmounting is a part of the shutdown process, so it happens automatically ;) i for one never unmounted anything :D

Is there a dev. Interesting in porting ubuntutouch to sgs2. I really like it to take a spin on my s2....i think its awesome what conical is doing...even its in alpha....

Thx....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabboman:
Well, I dont know if the source has been released yet, but i can tell you that it would be a hard job: we don't have all the sources of our cellphone, so we couldn't have the drivers working well (as the GPU). It would be a hard job. I still have no experience as a developer, maybe in some time I could do something like a kernel but making a new OS to our phone would be very harder...

But I'm sure that there is here a lot of people better than me in that, just wait :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liawim:
Well what i know is that they are using a stripped version of the kernel from cm 10.1. and there is a guide on internet how to port ubuntutouch to other devices.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f-r:

Even if the source will be released (didn't happen yet) and a dev will begin porting it, (didn't happen yet) this takes time. It won't happen immediately as a reply to a thread.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] techguy378:
I was wondering if anyone can confirm the following for me. I have an AT&T Galaxy SIII running Samsung's stock Android 4.1.2 ROM. The phone is not rooted, it's 100% pure stock. My question is does this phone's CPU always run at max speed unless the CPU Power Saving option is enabled? I'm asking because when running Cyanogenmod 10.1 M1 I get significantly better battery life and I'm wondering if Samsung's stock ROM is not automatically adjusting the processor's speed based on workload like I'm assuming Cyanogenmod does. My phone has a 4500mah extended battery and with Samsung's stock ROM the battery is down to 20% after 10 hours even if the phone is idling with the screen off most of that time. With the previously mentioned Cyanogenmod ROM my phone's battery is down to 55-60% after 10 hours. Can anyone confirm this behavior?

I want to root my cell phone (xperia mini st15i), and I want if possible to give me a trustworthy video so I can root it step by step. The reason of this thread is having a video from you guys that I know I can trust. My build number is 4.1.B.0.587 Kernel version is 2.6.32.9-perf and I'm using Android 4.0.4. Hope that you'll help me and not being pain in the ass. Thanks!

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxlnc:
Since the link about rooting the TF101 in the reference thread is broken, I would like to ask what is the cleanest way to root the TF101. I'm coming from a stock B80* device at the latest OTA update.

I'm working under Linux. I want to root my device, install a custom ROM and Ubuntu as well (for the last part I think this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1537566 is the one to follow).

So now I need a pointer to the "reference" rooting guide (I've done a bit of search but apart from 1-click tools to be used under Win platforms I couldn't tell what is the latest "manual" procedure.

Another question: I read on the XDA wiki that to install Ubuntu on SBK2 devices Wheelie is needed in order to access the nvflash mode, but in the XDA guide I linked above Wheelie isn't mentioned at all. What am I missing?

What is the "cleanest" way to go through this?

Thank you in advance.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederuco:
Under Linux, I think the easiest is to use Wolf's method 3 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622628

You will need the adb executable for Linux. I am not sure if it is included, or if you have to get it from the Android SDK tools here: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r21.1-linux.tgz

You will need a recovery blob saved on the internal memory of your TF101. I would use TWRP recovery, download the TWRP recovery blob here: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf101/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.2.3-tf101.blob I would rename this to recovery.blob and save it in the /sdcard/ for easy reference.

Also, save this copy of SuperSU that can be flashed through recovery in the /sdcard/: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1210576&d=1342793670

Next, connect your TF101 to your Linux machine via the charger cable. Go to Settings - Developer Options and enable USB Debugging.

Open a terminal window where you can execute adb and type the following:

adb devices

It should show one device connected. If so, proceed. If not, you will want to wait for a Linux guru to come along and assist.

Next, execute the following commands:

[B]adb shell[/B]
android@root# [B]mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak[/B]
android@root#[B] ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /data/local/tmp[/B]
android@root#[B] exit[/B]

[B]adb reboot[/B]

Once you see the Asus loading screen, you should be able to use ADB again. If you want to wait until it is fully booted, that is fine.

Execute the following:

[B]adb shell[/B]
android@root# [B]dd if=/sdcard/recovery.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4[/B]
8860+1 records in
8860+1 records out
4536396 bytes transferred in 1.718 secs (2640509 bytes/sec)
android@root# [B]exit[/B]

[B]adb reboot[/B]

Note, the numbers for records in and out will vary, but as long as it completes it should be fine.

Upon reboot you should see a progress indicator on the bottom of the Asus screen. This is when it updates the recovery to the custom one you dd'd.

After it boots, you can then boot to recovery by holding the VOL DOWN and POWER button on the tablet (not the keyboard dock) for about 12-15 seconds. When you see the white text, release both and tap VOL UP before the white text disappears.

You should boot to the custom recovery (if you get a dead android, you still have stock recovery)

Once in custom recovery, tap Install and choose the SuperSU flashable located in the /sdcard/. Once that completes, you are rooted.

As far as installing Linux on a SBK2, I am not sure on that one. I have been reluctant to mess with Linux on my TF101.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] doncaruana:
Just upgraded to a new sprint gs3. Went to add facebook to accounts and checked the play store first, it says facebook is installed. Cool, but I'm not sure if that came from Sprint or from the automatic app download that happens when you add an existing account. Any way, all is cool, except the fact that facebook doesn't show up in the list of apps so I can put a shortcut on a home screen.

Has anyone else seen this? Am I missing something? In the store, there's an option to uninstall, so I guess I could uninstall/reinstall, but I'd kind of like to understand what's going on before doing that.

Any ideas?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] judith prietht:
Hello all. was trying to sim unlock, root and flash a custom ROM on an old HTC Desire I had lying around. After a few missteps, I tried flashing a 3mobile RUU, only to be greeted with an error message at about 59% complete, something about the necessary files being incomplete or not present.

Since then, the phone displays a black screen with a silver HTC logo in the centre and triangle warning symbols in each corner whenever connected via USB to computer, or if I unplug the USB it shows a white screen similar to the fastboot screen, headed by the 'revolutionary' banner from rooting, but with no 'fastboot/recovery/etc' options listed. 'RUU' is displayed there in orange instead.

Can't seem to access the bootloader at the moment. tried the usual button combo presses but they don't work, although once while pressing down vol up, down and power it got into the menu. Saw that it still had the pink 'revolutionary' banner from a previous s-off experiment, but then trying to enter recovery left me with a graphic of the phone and a red warning triangle over the corner of the picture.

installed the quick boot app but it says i'm not rooted. tried running the Unrevoked rooting tool but after cycling through boot a few times it just rebooted the phone back to normal without seeming to have done anything.

The phone is working fine and i'm a massive android n00b, so if it's going to be a hassle then I'll just leave it, but I'm wondering if there's an easy way from here to root and flash a custom ROM?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Okay, so I'm sure almost everyone read on the XDA portal that the Xperia T has an empty 300 MB partition. So the developers made that partition the recovery partition.

So, I'm wondering why we can't get a recovery partition.

The Xperia S has 32 gigs of inbuilt storage, and that's quite a lot. It's divided, though, so you only get around 24 gigs for the 'sd card'.

But what if we take 300 MB from those 24 gigs?

We could create a whole new partition, just like the Xperia T has!

Any ideas if this would work?

I'm no developer, just thinking out loud... Might help a developer :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fareeed:
Not sure it works like that, I don't think internal storage can be re partitioned to be used like that. I think they were able to get it to work on the T because Sony had left 300mb of un partitioned space on the phone. Doomlord said he'd try and get it to work on the S so it might be possible.

What I want to know is this, Xperias have a recovery FOTA partition but access to it is blocked after the boot loader is unlocked, so why is access blocked and is there no way to regain access to it?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
FOTA? Whatever that means, as long as it's a partition, I hope we can use it...

I hope Doom really succeeds, we need that partition!

Firmware Over The Air
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:

Maybe not, but, seriously, why not partition the SDcard...?

It CAN be partitioned and left there abandoned, the question is, can we get it to boot?

Better yet, why not COMPLETELY format the eMMC chip and partition it from scratch? Then we can make it like an HTC device, with the gazillion partitions before boot :P
